The role

Through cultural, artistic, sports, and recreational activities, along with emotional development, reinforcement, and support for healthy eating, we help them experience a fun summer that contributes to healthy and inclusive development.

Save the Children's urban colonies take place in the morning (9:00 AM to 2:45 PM) during the month of July. The volunteer will always be supervised and accompanied by a Save the Children educator.
